Although i do have to second what craigafrechette said. Most definitely i would be taking a long hard honest look at my self and the situation to make sure, for one, that i was able to not just provide the bare minimum for domestic survival, but an environment where the animals will flourish. And second, that no deaths or illness were caused by a situation i might have been able to handle better in one way or another.
But if all that checked out, and you have the means ability and desire why pass up on the opportunity? I definitely wouldnt if i were in your shoes.
Again, no judgements, just how i would honestly approach the situation.
